Since 2020

I've been interested in baking for a long time. Not doing much about it, though, until the pandemic hit. The first couple of months were a challenge as the starter matured and my practice improved. Baking on a Big Green Egg grill was part of the fun; controlling the temperature using coals is the tricky part. Recently I am relying more on a gas oven.

Characteristics

A very active young starter from unbleached all-purpose flour. Ready at the start, it had acidic tones and a pungent smell from the acetic acid. With time, it has become sweeter and fruity at times. It is less than a year old, and this will be the first winter for it. We will see how working in a colder environment turns out.
